yeast allergy?

Question

ive just discovered i have an allergy to yeast what alternatives can i use for bread and gravy

Answer 1

the dreaded candida yeast allergy eat or make your own soda bread without yeast you can get loads of recipes off google for those who are allergic to yeast

Answer 2

I had a yeast allergy many years ago but I do not react to yeast now. I had other allergies as well and when I avoided them I felt much better. People often get yeast allergies when they have an overgrowth of candida (a yeast) in the digestive system as I did. If you have this problem and deal with it successfully your yeast allergy is likely to go. The only problem is that mainstream medicine does not recognise candida overgrowth in the gut as being a problem. You might have to find a nutritionist who can help you determine if you have this problem.

Answer 3

Gravy can easily be made from scratch using dripping or broth thickened with cornstarch and cold water or flour and oil/butter (roux), this is the way your mom and/or grandma always did it and there is no yeast involved....however, yeast or yeast extract is in many gravy mixes and boullion/soup cubes used in quick gravy preparations....you will have to read labels very carefully if you must use a mix, but i'll bet that at Whole Foods or Sun Harvest you might be able to find yeast-free mixes.

Answer 4

Me too. Sorry but there are no decent alternatives, I no longer eat bread, though you can get yeast free bread - mainly wraps, pita and soda bread, but check the label as sometimes they add yeast anyway. I melt butter on my vegetables instead of gravy, though you can get yeast free vegetable stock cubes that would do for gravy but that's only vegetable ones, there's no yeast free beef or chicken ones. Good luck!

Edit: I have carefully read the labels of all gravies available in shops in Glasgow and they all have yeast in them.

Answer 5

It may not be yeast - it may be wheat &/or gluten which is in most food items. Breads, pasta, barbecue sauce, steak sauce, candies, soy sauce and many other daily items have these additives. It is becoming a national problem and related to enriched ingredients found in so many products for shelf life. It's a bland life without the breads, etc's. but it's healthy and you can eat more fruit and vegetables. There are alternatives in the grocery stores to wheat products...rice for instance.

Answer 6

a friend of mine has a yeast allergy also, i dont know about a substitute for gravy,ill ask her , but i do know that pitta bread is ok..good luck

Answer 7

You can have unleavened bread such as the stottie (from North East England) or the Pitta Bread.

As for gravy, I didn't know that it had yeast in it. I normally make my bread by adding cornflour to the juices from the meat after roasting.

Answer 8

In the event it's a fruit they have seeds, otherwise it's a vegetable. And vegetables are usually grown in the ground while fruits are grown in trees.

Answer 9

If you are allergic to just yeast, you can make baking powder biscuits. Gravy does not have yeast in it.
